Empire standard-bearer

Another violation of the "Marauder only" rule, and I can't even say that it was sculpted by Aly Morrison, as the designer is Mark Copplestone. Anyway, this is the standard-bearer that will join the mercenary regiment (until I find a better idea).

A dynamic sculpt, but the Empire Griffin would've looked out of place with my Estalian/Tilean sell swords and have come to realize the benefits of interchangeable flags: http://olicanalad.blogspot.co.uk/2010/07/top-tip-flags.html http://camisado1500s.blogspot.com/search?q=flags . From the MM60 range, will either use a converted F10 or F28 as the standard bearer.

How about MM62's CZ 20? It comes with an hand drum and a trumpet and Citadel's C-26 10 is for those preferring non-slashed clothing.

Since the MM60 figures are $10+ each :-( , 50-75% of the unit will be plastic Mordheim Mercenaries/Empire Free Company figures - close in style to the Marauder Fighters.

MM62 CZ20 is nice, but I think he fits more in a militia rather than in a unit of hardened mercenaries. I'm more willing to use the MM61 drummer.And yes, the MM60/MM61 are sold at incredibly high prices :(
